How can I use my previews as "masters", wen the masters are irretrievably lost? My idea is to at least be able to save the lost pictures by using the Previews as the new "originals".

So, yes. Most of my master pictures are gone, long story - please don't ask why. The question now is whether I can use the previews (which are still there) which is surely better than nothing. But except for browsing, there's nothing I can do with them, unless they have a master file connencted. Has anyone got a clue how I could make Aperture treat these remaining preview as master files as well as previews, or in some way make this files useable.
Thank you very much for your help, if anybody out there has a clue how

I assume, your library is referenced? And the versions are now pointing to missing original master image files?
Then try the following - for each project separately.:
Select all images in a project and drag them from the Bowser to a folder outside the library. This will export the previews as jpegs.
Now - with the images in the project still selected - use the command "File > Locate Referenced Files" to open the "reconnect" window. In the upper part of the reconnect Window select the first of your images that needs to be reconnected, and in the lower part point it to the corresponding jpeg you exported. Hold down the alt/options-key⌥ to force the connect-buttons to appear. Press "Connect all".
Regards
Léonie
P.S: If the reconnect buttons refuse to become active, even with the⌥-key held down, check the filenames. The previews should be named exactly like the missing originals. I tried this in Aperture 3.4.5, but I am not sure, if it will work in all Aperture versions the same.

Not all carriers allow that to be set using preferences in the phone. Contact your carrier.

I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

Did you ever figure out what happened?
I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
Thanks.

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2

Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

P.S I'm sorry for the late reply

How can i/adobe tell which licence (student or normal) things are created in?

How can i/adobe tell which licence (student or normal) things are created in?
Basically i want to know how i can find out, (in an exported jpg for instance) where it would say it was created in the student edition or in the normal edition. I dont want to put files that would be going against the student licence (which for those of you who dont know you cant create items to sell in a student edition) on the internet to make money.
I have put i/adobe because if no one can tell what files are created in, and i have the licence for the normal one then it should be okay.
Hope some of you can help,
James

How can I delite copies in easy way from "Photo", there are about 4-5 copies each of 3500 pictures!

Did you import an old iPhoto library into this one? It sounds like you did - NEVER import an iPhoto library - it does not work and creates a massie mess
If that is wha tyou did and you still have the old library available drag the bad library to the desktop for now and drag the old library to your ictures folder (No Importing Involved) and launch iPhoto - it will open the library and upgrade as needed - once you are sure your photos are safe and at least one backup cycle has run you can trash the bad library on the desktop

Startup disc is Macintosh HD. If your HD is getting near full capacity you'll need to offload some files to an external drive or drives.

I want to be able to save texts to a file or folder seperate from the rest of my texts. This is so I can forward them onto someone else at a later date.

Hi
I want to be able to save texts to a file or folder seperate from the rest of my texts. This is so I can foward them onto someone else at a later time.
I have always had this facility on my previous phones e.g. blackberry but can't seem to find a way with my Iphone.

No such option is available with the iPhone.
A text can be forwarded, but texts are saved in conversation format by contact/phone number.
Texts are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are a number of 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer - viewing/archiving/printing, etc.
Here is one.

How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same Apple ID.

Color space-creating a book in My publisher-.when I look at the share book pre print the colors are all dulled out. I work in pro photo rgb in LR and PS -.My Pub is sRGB-.where is the problem?

Color space…creating a book in My publisher….when I look at the share book pre print the colors are all dulled out. I work in pro photo rgb in LR and PS ….My Pub is sRGB….where is the problem?

I finally got to my references. This had to do with "soft proofing" on screen in Photoshop.
So this may not help you at all. Re: Strange sRGB soft-proofing behavior So go ahead and leave that setting at Basic.
However there is a Color Management forum that you also go to and see if anyone has answers for your particular problem.
Here is the link: Color management
I hope they can help you out.
